Welcome to the 'but for now' series, I will hopefully write a bit about each character and their frame of mind but there are no promises. As with everything I post on the site I don't own anything that you recognise, I'm only borrowing the character for a bit. Please leave any constructive feedback that you feel is needed, and just to let you know that this chapter is a repost as I wrote another character and came up with a title that will last for as many as I write! Hope you enjoy!
Her mind has always been fragile, she never knows where to turn when she feels more breakable than most. Instead she hides herself away to avoid all the pain that she never wants to feel again. She hides from all the pain that is to come, the pain that comes from basic interaction. She knows that she hides, taking solace in reading textbooks and listening to a police scanner. She knows that she turns into herself every time he tears that small glimmer of hope away.
She knows that one day she will have isolated herself so much that when she admits she needs help no one will hear her cry. No one will come to help, no one will care.
She knows her mind is fragile, and she knows that he will never give her what she needs.
But for now she will read the rest of the text book and listen to the scanner as she promises herself that tomorrow she will open up to someone. Tomorrow, but tomorrow comes and goes and each night the promise is the same, a vain attempt to ease her fragile mind.
